OVERLAY [screen loader]

**Valheru** · 05-12-2008, 04:07 AM

at the risk of getting in trouble ... I have to agree with Monkeyracer ...

Labels are working in Beta version and CPU is much lower than the ALPHA version, but labels only align left, are smaller font size that expected and display in reverse order from RR ... so shadows appear over the text - but to be honest this "feature" is more how I think the labels should be displayed with the first label read (in the case the shadows) displayed as the lowest layer and subsequent labels displayed over this first one.

beta is certainly an major step forward over alpha version and hopefully when you get some time to look at this again, that the next release will be very close to perfect.

Darn! this had the potential to revolutionize skin design and functionality; just think, full screen iguidance overlaid with speed data, satellite count, city, state and much more.

R.I.P

For now, I will live without label support. If only I knew anything about autoit, I could help, but to no avail...

Does anyone have the source to this. I would definitely like to continue this project.

please! go on working on this plugin!
El Camino it's really fantastic!
it's incredible...
here is a my picture viewer... a work of mine with your plugin!

...there are some problem with labels:
1) the size of the font shown through the plugin are different from that in the skin
2) they are not refreshed until you press a button
3) only left align works

to update the labels use a timer event,
i.e.
.skin file

Code:

TMR,1

ExecTBL.ini

Code:

"TIMER","SENDMSG;ElcosMenu;update",YOURRRscreen.skin

(not overlay's)
this will update the labels every second.
in my skin i use

Code:

"ONSONGSTART","SENDMSG;ElcosMenu;update"

to update the labels "TAGARTIST" "TAGTITLE"

for some reason labels size are a bit tricky. and yes they line up to the left only. for now..
